Aadhaar
is a 12 digit individual identification number issued by the Unique
Identification Authority of India on behalf of the Government of India.

This number will serve as a proof of identity and address, anywhere in India.

Any
individual, irrespective of age and gender, who is a resident in India
and satisfies the verification process laid down by the UIDAI can enrol
for Aadhaar.

Each individual needs to enroll only once which is free of cost.

Each
Aadhaar number will be unique to an individual and will remain valid
for life. Aadhaar number will help you provide access to services like
banking, mobile phone connections and other Govt and Non-Govt services
in due course.

Why Aadhaar

Aadhaar-based identification will have two unique features:Universality,
which is ensured because Aadhaar will over time be recognised and
accepted across the country and across all service providers.Every resident's entitlement to the number.The
number will consequently form the basic, universal identity
infrastructure over which Registrars and Agencies across the country can
build their identity-based applications.Unique Identification of
India (UIDAI) will build partnerships with various Registrars across the
country to enrol residents for the number. Such Registrars may include
state governments, state Public Sector Units (PSUs), banks, telecom
companies, etc. These Registrars may in turn partner with enrolling
agencies to enrol residents into Aadhaar.

Aadhaar
will ensure increased trust between public and private agencies and
residents. Once residents enrol for Aadhaar, service providers will no
longer face the problem of performing repeated Know Your Customer (KYC)
checks before providing services. They would no longer have to deny
services to residents without identification documents. Residents would
also be spared the trouble of repeatedly proving identity through
documents each time they wish to access services such as obtaining a
bank account, passport, or driving license etc.How to get an Aadhaar?

The Andhra Pradesh IT Department will be offering its Mee Seva service platform to help people get their Aadhaar numbers and ease the rush at the existing enrolment centers.

The platform has a special software solution framework, the Andhra Pradesh State Resident Data Hub (APSRDH), initiated by the department to create an unique citizen database and seeding of Aadhaar number to beneficiary databases.

One of the services offered through the Mee Seva centres is for those who have enrolled, but did not receive their numbers or lost their enrolment slips. “For these people, a mechanism of retrieval of Aadhaar details and seeding of the number is made available through Mee Seva centres. They can seed their Aadhaar numbers with multiple schemes like pensions, ration card and LPG,” an official communication said.

These people can use the data hub by using an advanced search service through the existing 6,000 Mee Seva centres. People can also self-seed their Aadhaar number into multiple beneficiary schemes.

Mee Seva centres can facilitate in retrieving the Aadhar numbers for five crore of the resident data available in the data hub.

This service will benefit those who are enrolled but have no information about their Aadhaar status and reduce multiple visits to the different Government department to seed their Aadhaar number.

The statement said the existing enrolment centres would complete their coverage by May end. To facilitate the residual population coverage, the enrolment centres would be established at the Mee Seva centres.

A new service, Online Slot Booking for Aadhaar Enrolment, is being developed through a centralised portal to facilitate people to book their slots as per their convenient time.

People can update their details, such as name, phone number, residence address and other family members for enrolment, through this service. Once the enrolment slot is booked, the information will be passed on to them through mobile SMS.

“This new service will be started shortly and will be initially for Hyderabad and Rangareddy districts,” the statement said.
